Huge Nintendo fan, tech enthusiast, lover of basic pop music, and incapable of having a healthy sleep schedule.
The year is almost over which means it's time to highlight my favorite games of 2025! By which I mean the best games I played this year regardless of release date but in this case the ranking is basically just Switch 2 games so oops

KDE Plasma baybeeeeeee

(Also COSMIC just came out of beta last week and I'm going to be writing about it soon)
people switching to Linux need to be aware that IBM and Microsoft both fund Red Hat, which has a big stake in GNOME, and is heavily influencing the entire Linux ecosystem.

Hey everyone! We’re Vivaldi. A browser from the north, available on all major platforms, employee owned, and built for power users who like staying in control. 🇮🇸🇳🇴

I don't think I shared it earlier but this week's video is on Metroid Prime 4 and how it could have been better, though I still loved it.

@vivaldi.com keeps on taking Ws without barely having to do anything

Found @raycast.com this year and it's been amazing. Saved me so much time.

We put together a pretty nice list!
From rollables to foldables, 2025 pushed form factors forward.

I know Canva is also not the greatest company but the new free version of Affinity is honestly really great and enough for a lot of people to ditch Adobe without the torture of using GIMP
friends don't let friends use GIMP

Well, there it is. Good game with great highs and some unfortunate shortfalls, but I love it anyway

Just thinking about how Barack Obama stopped being president 9 years ago yet he's still 7 years younger than Trump was when he first took office. Why did America choose such a deranged old man TWICE? Well, I guess they actually didn't the first time.

Companies spend billions on AI but I can't edit my dumb typo and this is why I hate it
Oh I'm jealous. I also want to be on a lost of people who hate garbage, where can I check this?

Not the most useful stats considering most of the time has been spent listening to the full soundtrack for each game to get more familiar with them (that's why AC is number one). The only indicators of my actual choices are Breaking Through and the top two playlists

The only use you could possibly have for an Xbox these days and it still dropped this massively

Not much of an F-Zero 99 guy, but it's genuinely so heartwarming to see the passion of the team at NST to keep this game alive and growing when it was initially supposed to lose support years ago. It's so cool.
Additional new content for F-ZERO 99 is now available for #NintendoSwitchOnline members!

This has to be a joke
Soon, CNN will run live odds on world events where its viewers can gamble on them in real time on their smartphones. One recent Kalshi betting market that allowed people to bet on whether Palestinians in Gaza would suffer mass starvation.
CNN Partners With a Gambling App That Lets You Wager on Starvation in Gaza
The app company’s two biggest investors are also heavily invested in the Israeli military.

I'm sensing a pattern here

I strongly stand by Vivaldi since I started using it a few years ago. Extremely capable and versatile, fantastic cloud sync with Google accounts, and no AI garbage.
I generally advise AGAINST Firefox forks because they'll be slower to adopt security patches but if you must, choose one who is quick to adopt security patches.

Otherwise in Chromium world, Vivaldi is a good non-corporate option.

Seeing Metroid Prime 4 reviews on my timeline from 3/5 to 10/10 is giving me crazy whiplash

Seeing this said of Kirby Air Riders is so freaking disheartening. All these people want is for companies ot keep pumping money into the same old projects and just more graphics or whatever.

Unlike a lot of other big companies, Nintendo does seem to actually try and take its gains from bigger (1/2)

Live streams are so back! I'll be going live very shortly with Kirby Air Riders!

It's amazing how Xbox will do anything to make money except make a good game and/or platform.

At least this horrendous experience has led to us creating a new sever with a bigger focus on safety and trust in other members. It's our first time managing a Discord server so it's been a fun learning experience and it's already looking awesome.
I'm in a Discord server for people to come together while working or studying remotely, and last night one of our most active members shared a message that some piece of garbage had joined her in the video channel and started showing off his junk when it was just the two of them in the room.
